The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. d. The Subrecipient agrees that to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review process must be completed and FEMA approval received by the Subrecipient before any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed. 7. PROCUREMENT The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.317 through 200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B, A.10). a. For all contracts expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, per 2 CFR 200.1, the Subrecipient must notify the Department. The Department may request pre - procurement documents, such as request for proposals, invitations for bids and independent cost estimates. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for requesting and reviewing pre -procurement documents. b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed the micro -purchase threshold per 2 CFR 200.1, the Subrecipient must submit justification to the Department for review and approval. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for reviewing and approving sole source justifications to any non-federal entity to which Subrecipient makes any award. C. The Subrecipient as well as its contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which was enacted as a part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act §§ 70901-70297, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (2021); and Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers. BABAA requires any infrastructure project receiving federal funding must ensure: i. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means all manufacturing processes, from initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States. All manufactured products must be produced in the United States. For a manufactured product to be considered produced in the United States, the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55% of the total cost of all minimum amount of domestic content of manufactured product, unless subject to another standard. iii. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that all manufacturing processes for construction material occurred in the United States. Additionally, applicable infrastructure projects are subject to domestic preference requirements. A domestic preference does not apply to non -infrastructure spending under an award that also includes a covered project. A domestic preference applies to an entire infrastructure project, even if it is funded by both federal and non-federal funds under one or more awards. Domestic preferences under BABAA only apply to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a domestic preference apply to DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 9 of 45 Kittitas County, E25-236
